🏢 About the local organisation

Youth Star Cambodia was founded in July 2005 by Eva Mysliwiec, who felt strongly that with such a huge youth population, Cambodia’s young people could be a powerful resource for addressing Cambodia’s most pressing social issues. She also believed that service is a powerful way to build the next generation of Cambodian civic leaders and social entrepreneurs, and that doing so is critical to Cambodia’s future. Mission Youth Star Cambodia’s aim is to empower Cambodian youth as volunteers, to improve the quality of life
in vulnerable communities through education and civic participation. Vision Our Vision is that all young Cambodians will:  have the education and tools to participate meaningfully in the 
development of their country; 
  possess the values, skills, and inspiration to be leaders for the common 
good, and;  contribute to eradicating illiteracy and poverty in 
marginalized communities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will stay with their host family where the basic living materials are provided such pillows, blanket, mattress, and water. People are living very simple they do not have air-conditioner, hot shower, and Internet access at home. The food will be provided be the host family with a very Cambodia traditional way. We normally have 3 meals per day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you are allergies or have any special food problems please let us know in advance so we can find the way to help but don’t expect something very good from our host family. We will try our best though.

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers who respect and are willing to understand other cultures and backgrounds, are open-minded and flexible, love nature and like enjoying all its benefits love children love organizing fun activities for kids are willing to live together and work together with the local community and other volunteers are willing to adapt and enjoy simple conditions of living, Cambodian style does not mind having little privacy, like doing physical work. Language requirement: Communication with staff, volunteers, and community partners will be enhanced through verbal communication in Khmer, as well as valued and appreciated.
 Language capacity of organisation: Youth Star Cambodia works in both English and Khmer. National staffs have differing levels of competency in English and care needs to be taken to ensure understanding in both written and spoken English. Some of the outputs from this volunteer will require translation from English to Khmer and this must be taken into account in planning, both in terms of timescale and capacity. Flexibility: The volunteer and Youth Star must adapt to changes in the placement description as time evolves.
